1991 Starting from the core

In Mei Jie's chairman's office, Chen Daohua smiled and poured tea for Su Yuanshan himself.

Since Meijie's factory was integrated into Yuanxin's foundry system, he moved his office to the city, only two streets away from Yuanxin's Internet center.

"Is Secretary Zhou officially promoted?" Chen Daohua knew that Su Yuanshan was a nostalgic person. Seeing that he brought Wen Xiaoqian over this time, he asked with a smile.

"Um...it doesn't count. It's just that Secretary Zhou will be responsible for specific affairs sooner or later, so he might as well bring someone new." Su Yuanshan glanced at Wen Xiaoqian, the secretary chatting with Chen Daohua outside the glass wall, and shook his head with a smile: "This little girl Everything is good, but sometimes he is too lively.”

"..." Seeing Su Yuanshan's youthful face, Chen Daohua could not help but be speechless for a while, and laughed and said: "Little girl? You are so old-fashioned..."

Su Yuanshan immediately realized that he was speechless and said with a smile: "It's mainly because I have been dealing with old men a lot recently..."

"The old man you are talking about is Mr. Andy? How was the discussion?"

"It's okay. Our negotiating team has passed. According to predictions, Intel will not refuse."

"That's good." Chen Daohua also breathed a sigh of relief. Although Meijie is a motherboard manufacturer, it has no business at all whether Yuanxin's Tamron processors are infringing or not. But after all...if Meijie made great efforts to pull the Tamron processor into the car, but the processor was sued, it would have an impact after all.

And as far as he is concerned, after the factory integration, Meijie (Special Zone) can be regarded as a member of the Yuanxin system. He should keep an eye on and care about any business of Yuanxin.

Chen Daohua asked again: "I heard from Xiaojing that Steve Jobs will be coming next week?"

"Yeah. Mr. Qiao hasn't been to the mainland yet. Although he is an idealist, he is also a pragmatist." Su Yuanshan couldn't help laughing when he thought of the original discussion with Mr. Qiao: "But I guess he wants to see Let’s see how our Yuanxin is doing and whether it is as awesome as the rumors say.”

"Haha, will you go back to the provincial capital Science and Technology Park then?"

"Yes. And it depends on whether Sister Jing has time. If she is free, she has to come forward."

"Well, it should be so." Chen Daohua nodded and couldn't help but sigh: "Jobs is a myth in the eyes of us IT people. If Apple hadn't pioneered the field of personal computers, we wouldn't know where to play. .”

Chen Daohua's words are indeed a bit modest - according to his level, it is impossible to play in the mud.

But one thing is that it was precisely because Apple launched the first "personal computer" (apple II) in human history that the personal computer field and even the entire related industry flourished.

From this point of view, Apple is undoubtedly great, and so is Jobs.

When such an awesome person came to Yuanxin in person, Chen Jing, the chairman of Yuanxin, should personally receive him.

"Yes, if it weren't for Apple and Mr. Qiao, today's computers might still be just high-end tools for laboratories." Su Yuanshan was also quite emotional, and he breathed softly and said: "So I think we will be enemies with Apple soon. , I actually still feel a little guilty."

"Hahahaha! Why do I think you don't have a guilty conscience? And you are not the enemy of Apple, you are the enemy of IBM, Toshiba, Compaq and even all the old IT companies, even Microsoft..." Chen Daohua laughed. Then he stood up, walked to the filing cabinet, flipped through it a few times, pulled out a folder and handed it to Su Yuanshan.

"The appearance design and specific parameters, the PCB is now being made into the first version, and the results will be available in about two days."

"Um."

Su Yuanshan nodded, opened the folder, and read it carefully.

This is the laptop that Su Yuanshan has always been thinking about.

Even though Mei Jie was extremely short on manpower, he still devoted his team to design for Su Yuanshan's "dream". And after more than a year of continuous investment in manpower, in the end Chen Daohua simply established the project directly, and the leadership of Yuanxin became that of Meijie.

This means that Chen Daohua puts more pressure on himself for Su Yuanshan's future.

This notebook uses a YX02 architecture processor, but there are not too many restrictions on power consumption. On the contrary, in order to release its capabilities, the power consumption has been relaxed.

Since the processor architecture adopts the YX architecture based on the reduced instruction set, it is impossible to be compatible with the old friend, windows.

In fact, its system will use Linux, which Yuanxin has been silently supporting.

As an open source system, Linux has developed much faster than expected compared to its previous life. The fundamental reason is that there are now more remote cores.

Because of the existence of Yuanxin, Linux's support for hardware changes rapidly, and the distribution released by Yuanxin has become a benchmark in the industry.

After all, compared to those programmers who are enthusiastic about open source, Yuanxin is run by regular troops.

In addition, the commercial software developed by Xinghai also supports the Linux system for the first time, making Linux in this life much better than the previous life in terms of experience and development.

And because Linux is a completely free and open source system, Su Yuanshan's support for Linux left everyone speechless - even Gates, he has never expressed dissatisfaction with Su Yuanshan.

After all, as a programmer, Gates still has this ambition. Moreover, Windows focuses on multimedia, which is exactly the opportunity to seize and monopolize individual and home users, and does not take into account the Linux system, which requires professionals to play well.

"What are the performance expectations?"

Su Yuanshan quickly read the appearance and conceptual design, but he didn't read the circuit diagram at the end, and immediately asked the most critical question.

"It's hard to say yet. Although there are successful cases of YX02 architecture on dedicated workstations, the system functions are relatively simple and no better than our laptops." Chen Daohua shook his head and said: "Since we are focusing on office laptops, stability is The first factor, in addition to meeting basic personal needs, actually mainly depends on system adaptation."

"The system is not a big problem." Su Yuanshan thought for a moment and said, "Brother Chen, from the user's perspective, what functions do you need the system to provide outside of the office?"

"Haha, it's just ordinary Internet access, email, and occasional video playback." Chen Daohua said with a smile: "For example, when we are engaged in design, the main thing is to see how fast the design software runs, whether it is stable or unstable."

"Especially the stability, it must be good." Chen Daohua paused and said: "And, personally, I don't necessarily need to perform many low-level operations on the system. It is best to simplify it a little. In this regard, Windows has done a good job It’s really good.”
